Beautiful model photos

Since many of you are more interested in looking at beautiful model photos, I will just show you some today. I haven’t took a lot of photos lately, so, just some from my private collection. Hehe…
Be nice and gentle with this model, okay…

Anyway, for those of you who are good in photography, you may notice that the background of the first photo has a lot of undesirable disturbances, which kind of distracting to the main subject, the model. What I did is to quickly blurred the background in Adobe Photoshop. It’s a very quick and easy trick… not sure if you wanted to know how I did it,… if yes, let me know and I shall made a quick step by step Photoshop tutorial next time. Illustrated of course.

I know you can never had enough of beautiful models. So, here is another picture of her in a different dress. Love the bright color patterns and scoop neck. Very sexy leh… :)

Demelza the Bully wins Australia's Next Top Model

Demelza Reveley, the youngest contestant this season at 16, is Australia’s Next Top Model. Despite the bullying controversy and the dig at her unmodel-like hips, she beat Alexandra Girdwood to become the face of Napoleon Perdis cosmetics for the year, also getting her own spread in Australia’s Vogue and a chance to jetset around the world to take on more seasoned models on the international catwalk.

Love the way these two embrace each other like they're the best of friends

Reveley won after the ultimate decision was left up to the viewers’ vote when the panel of six judges couldn’t reach a unanimous decision and was split into a tie. And here I thought the viewers’ decision didn’t matter and the whole voting system was all about the pretense of making viewers feel ‘involved’. But it seems that after the indignant outcry of many viewers crying out for Reveley’s blood after the Alamela bullying incident and vowing not to vote for her if she ever ended up in the final two, they had a change of heart. Many say this abrupt turn in Reveley’s popularity had to do with the endless criticism about her weight but I say, given that the other contender was Alex who could give Elvira a run for her money, the choice couldn’t have been that hard in the end.

But one person who was strongly campaigning for Alex to win was Alamela’s father, Peter, who is no doubt now disgusted that the ‘bully’ who taunted his daughter and even tipped a bucket of water over her head ‘to get a reaction’ is the ultimate winner of the competition. He fears that Reveley’s winning would justify the bullying Alamela had been subjected to, which also included, but not shown on TV, Reveley and a couple of others filling condoms with mayonnaise and putting them in Alamela’s bed and slipping chilli in her breakfast. Alamela and her dad had attempted to air their side on ‘A Current Affair’, concerned that the reality TV program was downplaying the whole bullying incident but the idea ‘was canned by the producers’. 
This morning, during an interview with Merrick & Rosso and Kate Ritchie on Nova 96.9fm, Reveley reiterated again that it was a mistake and unfortunately, it was a mistake shown on national TV. During the afterparty the night before, she had apologised to Alamela but no one knows for sure if Alamela has accepted the apology or will ever. Alex, on the other hand, admits that she was on 'a high horse' at the start of the show and that being a runner-up has made her 'humble'. Well, if I had a few months to reflect over the bitchy things I did and said on the show (and reading about people's opinion about your big mouth), I'd be eating humble pie as well. Apparently, she has now signed up with Priscila's and hopes to get castings soon.

Personally, I didn’t want either Demelza or Alex to win. Of all the Top Models I’ve seen – in Australia and overseas, I have never come across two such unlikable finalists that I am sorely tempted to email the judges of the show and rant at them for giving us two pinheads whom I do not want to see grace the covers of any magazine or pout their way down any catwalk – even at a school fete. Boo. As much as I thought she was a complete ditz and you want to run around to hold a lightbulb over her head, I still think Samantha should have won. She may have had a commercial look but how can anyone pick a googley-eyed baby talker (and that’s what Demelza is, I don’t mind admitting) or a squinty-eyed hag with lips you’re hypnotized by because they don’t move, over Samantha? Boo, I say. Boo!!!

And while we’re on the subject of booing, why was Jodhi Meares noticeably absent from the live broadcast? Could it be the flak she got from her nervous twitching, deer-in-the-headlights act she did in the previous year, prompting Charlotte Dawson to take the reins, not to mention the unprofessional way she didn’t even bother hiding her annoyance that her favourite, Stephanie, didn’t win? I say, get rid of her next year. She may be ‘nice’ and ‘maternal’ to the models but she doesn’t do it for me on TV. To the producers, bring on a host with more presence and a selection of girls with a few you can actually cheer for next year because this season has been absolutely dismal. Bah.

Top Beauty Fashion

Top beauty icons. Everr.

The following women have become inspirational to me because of their impeccable grace. Whereas many women on TV are hailed as 'beauties' for simply good make up jobs, the ones featured below not only possess immense natural beauty, they also have the intelligence and passion to take risks and manage their lives independently. A ranking is not possible.

Sophia Loren was the world's Marilyn Monroe in the late 1950s-1960s. She grew up in poverty in Mussolini's Italy and during WWII she was living in a town continuously bombed by the Allies.


When she got into Hollywood she was critiqued incessantly for her atypically sharp features and told to lose weight. She rejected all this inane pecking to later win an Oscar and become one of history's most celebrated beauties.

Hollywood is 20x bigger than Bollywood in terms money--billions made on $12 movie tickets in the US, DVD releases, etc. Yet in terms of number of movies made and audience figures, Bollywood is far larger. The Bollywood movie market expands past India throughout Asia as a whole, the Middle East, Africa, and Western viewers including the huge South Asian diaspora in the US and UK. Aishwarya Rai is basically the face of Bollywood. She is a former architecture student-turned Miss World and has been a critical element in promoting the Bollywood industry abroad. She was named a TIME magazine Most Influential Person in 2004, she is a UN Microcredit spokesperson and pledged her famous eyes to the Eye Bank Association of India.

Salma Hayek already had a successful career in Mexico as a soap opera and movie actress, including a role in Miracle Alley--the highest acclaimed film in Mexican cinema history. In the 1990s she left her comfortable life there to create a name for herself in the US, hardly speaking English when she first arrived. After acting as the quintessential beautiful girl in numerous movies, she produced and acted in Frida in 2003, a biopic on the famous Mexican artist. She stopped waxing her face completely to grow out her own facial hair and earned an Academy Award Best Actress nomination for her role.

She is now CEO of her production company, Ventarosa, and has deals with the ABC network to produce TV shows geared towards the Latino audience. She is the force behind Ugly Betty, which was originally a soap opera in Colombia. In December 2008 Salma Hayek was named one of the Top 25 Smartest People in TV by Entertainment Weekly, a title well earned considering her vision. You think that's enough? She also testified before the Senate supporting the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, and after having a baby, joined forces with Pampers in a UNICEF campaign providing tetanus vaccinations in underdeveloped countries.

In the 1970s most black models had great trouble getting work, yet Somali-born Iman became an international fashion muse working with the most elite names such as Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, and Donna Karen. Compelled by the difficulties she faced finding the right makeup to suit her complexion in the beauty/fashion industry, Iman created her own cosmetics line in 1994. IMAN Cosmetics was the first line of its kind specifically targeted to non-white women that beauty powerhouses like L'Oreal and Covergirl historically neglected. She has since wrote a book The Beauty of Color designed as a guide for women of all shades to help accentuate their own unique features. Currently Iman is an executive producer for the Canadian version of Project Runway, and has designed her own fashion line, Global Chic, inspired by global style trends.
